If u make it a little race between me + Yashenn vs Dumihn and duthka gith...and us getting there first, u can still do your scene

Ah. Excellent point.
I think Ariael does not want a race, he wants first honors regardless... tsk tsk, not fun...
So many posts!

Pig-killer dives in greedily with the bloody spoon. Bliss's screams pierce the air, and that is not all. Pig-Killer telempathicly projects its insane, sadistic rapture outward.

+15 is nice, but not impossible to get in other ways, with loads of feats...
Ii'Jyka shakes off the mental scream and is able to focus again..she looks around and sees thats the idiotic waste of space is running circles, but that 2 of her allies are engaging it... she steps over to Bliss and asks her: "what can u tell us now, so that i may honor our part?..." (if she is no longer able to answer coherently i will just behead her, coup de grace, just in case, i roll for the coup?)

Wow, with nearly the entire party raining down on an already-wounded Pig-Killer, I think he'll be changing name before the end of the round to Pig-Fodder.
I wanted to end its misery asap, so i guess not.. but i will give her a decent moment to reply to me, if she can....and i wanted Pig-Killer from trying any funky stuff and freaking us out anymore, so to be safe, make the quick kill and be done,
afterwards we can always pay a mage for speak with dead..(or wasn't there a pc who could? or is he inactive, i think...)
wuups, double post, sorry
It seems the game generally has followed this trend for a long while, and I like how it keeps momentum and makes combat run faster in a play-by-post game.
However, I'll point out that there's a downside in connecting character initiative with player posting frequency. Characters whose strength lies in being first to act will have lost it, which is fairly important for rogue and assassin-like characters and critters. I'm pretty much all for keeping this system because it makes the game go faster, but I'll admit that Du'minh's Improved Initiative feat feels like a wasted investment.
if the Dm alternately keeps it on ini and post quickness then it might not be a total los?.. no?
You know, technically, Pig-killer would have to manifest defensively (or take AoOs) to get the mind blast off, but in my opinion it's much more fun to just stun half the party in this situation.
I'm still laughing at the irony of the psion with the high Will save being stunned. (Hopefully she won't get de-brained in the next 4 rounds.)

Gy-Nath's disintegrate ability begs to differ. He could recoup the gold he spent on Jhank'kor, too.

Just to clarify, Ya'shenn's prejudice against duthka'giths is in-character only. I like playing a PC with personality flaws, but I don't want to spoil another player's fun.

Ii'Jyka does not like Duthka'giths either for being non-pure, but thats funny, coz she herself is atm none pure also, in a way... (cant tell to much, dont wanna spoil)

I'm just surprised no one said it earlier.
Or, In other words, never use those words on these forums, regarldless of how fitting or appropriate they might seem..! Dire Lemon..
That's not at all what Godwin's law means. If that's what Zim meant she should have said something like well, what you said. Also, why not? Is it in the forum rules or something? I didn't see any forum rules at all actually. It's not like it's a racist term or something, I mean, aside from it being the abreviation for the name of a racist political party, but if that's the problem we souldn't be allowed to say GOP either.
Godwin's Law is an abbreviation for a racist politcal party? Huh?

Not to put too fine a point on it, nor hit you with a flaming rant you (probably) don't deserve, but some people might really resent that implication.
About 6 hours game-time since the duel with Gy-Nath.
BTW, note the spelling, it is significant in the sense that as a foot-soldier his name was probably just Gy, or Nath, or some derivation thereof (actually, An'nath, if you must know). He would have changed his name to the two-part "Gy-Nath" to denote a higher status when he bacame a commanding officer. Githyanki names don't really follow any rules like this, but githyanki do sometimes change or modify their names as their life circumstances change. In general, the longer the name, the higher status the githyanki, though it is not a firm rule. In this vein, I did not think it mere coincidence that Ii'jyka'vaar, a knight (a high status position, during Vlaakith's reign anyway) has the longest name among the PCs. I figure as a hatchling her name could have been "Jyka" or something.
Other examples: Gy-Nath's supreme leader was named as "Ali-Gorthifsha-Na'Khaal", a rather long name. The NPC Telas-Niah is about the same level of power/ status (or would be if she wasn't an exile) as Gy-Nath.
Godwin's Law is an abbreviation for a racist politcal party? Huh?
Lol. No, Nazi is. It's short for National Socialist Party, or something like that. You stated Godwin's law and I said that I was surprised Nazi's hadn't been brought up already and then BS said that you meant that the word Nazi should not be used on this forum. I think.
@Azure: True, but those people are probably republicans.
You are correct, Dire, on all 3 accounts. Nazi IS short for National Socialisten, any Republican (which I could be, you don't know) WOULD be greatly insulted at the suggestion that the GOP is racist or in any way parallels the Nazis, and Zimrazim DID mean that mentioning Nazis was both a false analogy and in extremely poor taste.
[Flame edited out. I promised I wouldn't and so far I'm keeping that promise.]
Your foot is firmly in your mouth, Dire. I will not demand an acknowledgement of that fact, nor an apology, nor demand you leave this board, but all three of these options are well within my rights. Let it drop here.
I'm sorry... I didn't think you would take offense to this. I had no intention of saying that republicans were like Nazis. It was just a joke that they were racist. It was just a joke though. You know, like saying democrats hate America. Look, I'm sorry if you took personal offense to anything I said, it was meant merely to be sardonically humorous and not as an insult to you or anyone else, except Nazis.
Well, I certainly missed some development here... I've been out of internet for about a day but it seems to work fine now.
I think that goes without saying for all instances of (mature) roleplaying - Ya'shenn is probably relatively more open-minded than most giths in the party, though Gy-Nath seems to take the prize here. Ditto on enjoying playing flawed characters.
Now that sounds interesting... Anything to do with Ii's god?
Apology accepted, Dire.
Hey, no probs, Ar'dru is insufferably arrogant . In fact the only reason he doesn't rub other party members the wrong way more often is because he is self confident and arrogent so it manifests more as ignoring those who annoy him rather than attacking them (although there was one notable exception to this).
Incidentally, and not wanting to dwell on a past argument but the racial purity ideals and the controlled breeding programs of the Nazi's were on my mind when I came up with Ar'dru

Hey you guys. Do you think you could give me some help with something? See this thread for details. /forum/help-newbie-dm-trying-run-a-solo-game-a-clueless-player
*Kick's DM in to action with special "Bouncer-helps-to-kick-dm-boots +5"..
And to explain about Ii'Jyka's reasons to behead Bliss and take the head anyway... she does not see it as a trophy, but as a efficient way to kill Bliss, )but she has machinations for the head/ person of Bliss which Dm knows about but i cannot elaborate here any further upon..) she has put the head in the bag, but done so, in a way thet shows its not taken as a trophy (at least thats what i wish to bring across now)...
Speaking of kicking the DM... Everyone's posted in your game BS. I think the Githyanki thinks the ship is full of zombies.

Hmmm ... If you can explain exactly how you can stuff the head into a bag " in a way that shows its not taken as a trophy " then so be it, but I don't see how. So, Ii will get a disapproving look from Gy-Nath when she claims Bliss' head, but that doen't mean she has to give a sh*t.
As for poking the DM, I was sort of hoping somebody else would post first. If not, I'll move things forward, but it'll be a longish post and I won't do it 'till tomorrow after work at the earliest.
sure, no probs...
I'm still alive, but I can't post frequently at the moment (real life currently owns me). I don't know when things will become a bit saner, but annother week or two should see me posting at least a bit--though probably not daily.
Sorry folks, having a kind of crazy week in RL here ....
No problem, hope you sort it all out.
Crazy people acting crazy. I'm on vacation next week though.
On the bright side, at least in real life work doesn't carry with it the constant threat of de-cerebriation.
It just feels like it.

Bleck, that's a tricky one.
1) If it severs it completely, that also means putting on a Ring of Mind Shielding would negate a Thrall power, or any similar, long-term effect.
2) If not, then a ring of mind shielding would supress, but not sever long-term domination or enthrallment.
I'm going to say #2, because otherwise domination would be too easy to break. Just slip a similar ring on the enthralled person.
Therfore DM call is "Supress, not break."
